MAKEUP LOOK

NARS Andy Warhol Color Collection

These are my favorites from the NEW NARS Andy Warhol Color Collection. And BTW when it comes to blushes NARS is the master! L to R: NARS Andy Warhol Satellite of Love Highlighting blush, 47th Street Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner (you don’t even need a pencil sharpener you twist the bottom and more pencil comes out), and Back Room Nail Polish which I’m wearing today and in THIS PIC it is super elegant with a bit of an edge and mystery.

LOOK: “It’s a minimal look that we achieved using skincare and complexion products,” said Kendal. “Because the collection boasts minimal tones, we did the same thing for the makeup and focused on flawless, matte skin. For the models wearing the amazing glow in the dark looks, we gave them a more luminous face, with powder applied to the high points of the cheek.”

Rebecca Da Costa Interviews With Marta Walsh

I love movies and very interested in the history of film. I do watch a lot of  Old Hollywood films which means TCM Turner Classic Movies channel is my best friend, ha!. Since the subject fascinates me so much I enjoy tremendously interviewing actors and actresses and talk about movies and acting. This is why I was very excited to interview Actress Rebecca Da Costa who just wrapped production on an indie action thriller Motel centering on a hit man John Cusack hired by an infamous crime boss Robert De Niro. Directed by David Grovic this is a take on of an original screenplay by James Russo with a rewrite from Grovic and Paul Conway.
